I was scrolling through Revscene this morning and I found a post by Kevin that had me moved. Needless to say, this photo and story was to powerful to be hidden from public eye. I shot Kevin off a msg and explained that I wanted more views and readers; he agreed.

John Casablancas BYOB
Posted in: Fashion
Michael Lee invited me to help him out with a shoot for John Casablancas’ build-your-own-book event. The event puts up-and-coming hair dressers, wardrobe stylists, and makeup artists into a group with a professional photographer so they may build their portfolios. In the 8hour day you get 1 model, 3 different styles, 5 different unique looks to complete.
Because I was just helping out with lights and setup, I took this time to take a more journalistic approach to my photographs instead of a final look. Enjoy

Mel and I stayed the night at Hotel Pearl Palace were we enjoyed a peaceful breakfast up on their patio. Recommended by many travel sites and tourist if and when staying in Jaipur, do it here!
Ali was our driver for today. We met him the night before when he picked us up at the train station. He had a package available for us if we decided to go with him. At first we took his offer because the price seemed ok with us, but later into the trip we really found out how much people were really making on a monthly basis and this guy was doing really good for himself as a driver. The service was ok, we missed a couple spots on the map, I’ll get to that later, but when he found out he wasn’t getting a huge tip with his already high prices. It was like he didn’t even know us anymore once we paid him – pretty disappointing. Read More

The Magic of Post Process
Posted in: Inspiration
Ever year I look back at my work and see if I can improve or grow as a photographer in any area. One step I’d like to touch on is the power of post processing.
I’ve always focused on using post processing to provoke an emotion from the viewer and not to fix mistakes which could’ve been avoided during the shoot.
What’s a photo without a story? – a static image told only by composition, timing and post processing.The first photo which went out last year is straight forward, like it just came out of camera. There was a few minor tweeks, but nothing significant.

Agra, the city famous for it’s wonder of the world, the Taj Mahal. I found out very quickly that the small city lacked any inspiration or significance – in other words, was plain and boring – and was best planned as a day trip from Delhi.
On the train to Agra, Mel and I met a Canadian girl from Toronto who spotted my Canadian baggage tag. Tina was already on her second month in India with another two months to go. She had a spunky personality and an intriguing travelling knowledge. As travelers from the same country we quickly became good friends and decided to visit the sites together.
That evening Mel and I met up with Tina at the Taj, where she surprised us with two tickets. Tina, although Canadian, had an Indian heritage and went out of her way to purchase us local passes for a mere 20 rupees (instead of the tourist rate of 750 rupees). Unfortunately, we were stopped short of entering the grounds as we obviously did not look like locals. Tina on the other hand was let through without question. Although750 rupees doesn’t convert to being all that much, when you’ve been in India long enough, you’ll find yourself pushing to get the best price for everything. No complaints though, as the money goes towards guards and the maintenance of the beautiful palace. -

The Floating Palace of Taj

When editing I quoted this picture as, “a photo that might blow your mind” – I hope it does just that
